	HMS Dolphin (1751) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HMS Dolphin was a 24-gun sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy.
		Dolphin was pressed into service throughout the conflict, and was present at the Battle of Minorca in 1756 when a fleet under Admiral John Byng failed to protect a local garrison after losing an engagement with a French squadron (as a result of which Byng was later court-martialled and shot).
		The Dolphin was selected as lead vessel for this voyage, and she was to be accompanied by the sloop HMS Tamar and the supply ship Florida.

		There is no Frigate named dolphin in the game yet, the Ketch has that name so your good with those plans.
		Edit: After a bit of decision making I've made up my mind to go with HMS Dolphin (1751), as marion pointed out someone was already modelling the HMS Blandford which is of similar class...although the last update from the modeller was some 4 months ago (?).

	Evolution
		This, in fact, remains one of the most challenging aspects of evolutionary theory—not because it is hard to see how the human body is similar to an ape's body but because there is such a vast difference between a human mind and that of an ape.
		A fascinating example of this is the pentadactyl limb, a five-digit appendage common to mammals and found, in modified form, among birds.
		The cat's paw, the dolphin's flipper, the bat's wing, and the human hand are all versions of the same original, an indication of a common four-footed ancestor that likewise had limbs with five digits at the end.
